In Context: Almadraba

Spanish guitarist and composer Oscar Peñas blends together jazz and classical music in the world premiere of Almadraba, an ode to the sustainable Andalusian fishing tradition of the bluefin tuna. Like Andalusia itself, a melange of Moorish and Romanesque influences, Peñas melds together these two genres along with the influence of Cuban, South American, and Spanish music to tell the grand tale of this age-old ecological technique. To give you further insight into the production, we’ve compiled resources below and after you’ve attended the show, let us know what you thought by posting in the comments below and on social media using #almadraba.

Charming, informative chamber jazz and concert evening. The connection to Andalusian tuna fishers 3000 year history of sustainable catches took awhile to take in and, dare I say it, when it did we were hooked.

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you need to write more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not speak about such topics. To the next! Kind regards!!GED TestTEAS TestACCUPLACER Test
